"Scotch" definition

Scotch whiskey is a spirit that must be matured in Scotland for three years. The list of "scotch whiskey" in the article has makers from other areas. Just call it whiskey. see https://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/discover/story-of-scotch/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.173.197.231 (talk) 23:12, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Your source does not mention any of the whiskeys in the article, all of which say "Scotch whiskey" on their respective article pages. Could you please provide specific examples? (For example, one whiskey is already listed as an "Irish whiskey" on the page.) – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 23:31, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

My source (above) says if we call it Scotch then it must be made in in a specific area. So we can't call our list "Scotch Whiskey"-- just call it "Whiskey". It's the same as using the word champagne. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_whisky 104.173.197.231 (talk) 15:04, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Your source is correct. But all the entries after "Scotch whisky" are Scottish. (Actually, I'd a question over Windsor, but checked, and it doesn't appear to be owned by Diageo, so I've removed it). Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 15:45, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Good catch Windsor is Canadian.104.173.197.231 (talk) 18:22, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes and no. There is a Windsor Canadian whiskey, owned by Beam Suntory. But Diageo also has a (fairly new) brand called Windsor, which is indeed a blended Scotch, so we can probably assume that's the one referred to in this article.

And yes, Scotch must be made and matured in Scotland.

Finally, just for the record, Scotch is whisky, not whiskey. :) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:32, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
